Lucette Aldous was born in Auckland, New Zealand, in September 1938 and moved to Perth, Western Australia, when she was four months old.
While performing at Rambert she danced many major roles, including Night Shadow, Façade, and The Wise Monkey.
Aldous also toured with Ballet Rambert in 1957 to the People's Republic of China after Mao Zedong opened the country up.
Later in 1975 Ronald Hynd created the role of Valencienne for Aldous for his production of The Merry Widow for the Australian Ballet.
She was an advocate of Boris Knyazev's floor barre as a system of training and taught it at the Australian Ballet School.
In 1982 Aldous and Alder both took opportunities at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA) at Edith Cowan University in Perth.
While there she directed a ballet rendition of Romeo and Juliet and oversaw pieces such as Giselle, Sacred Space, The Sisters, and Summer Solstice.
